Sustainable Pleasure for Palate & Planet - Premium Single-Source Organic
Ecuadorian Dark Chocolate Bars - Recognizing that most of the profits are to be
made from sales of chocolate bars, not the cacao beans, the Kichwa people
created a cooperative where they would have more control over revenues. Higher
price for cacao and 100% of the profits from Kallari Chocolate Company will
return to the cooperative – Taking them above and beyond fair trade. The Kallari
Association, with its self-reliant governance and innovative economic model, is
nothing short of revolutionary in the global chocolate industry. Cacao
production provides the Kichwa people with a viable income so they have the
economic resources to resist logging their forests or succumb to the short-term
riches offered by petroleum extraction.
